76 true of all phenomena, as Berkeley and Kant have proved beyond all question. This matter, then, need not concern us. We may, however, provisionally accept the View that Dhyana is real; more real and thus of more importance to ourselves than all other experience. This state has been described not only by the Hindus and Buddhists, but by Mohammedans and Christians. In Christian writings, however, the deeply-seated dogmatic bias has rendered their documents worthless to the average man. They ignore the essential conditions of Dhyana, and insist…

Mock me, ye clinging lovers, at your peril! God turns to dust the blossom of your youth. The fruit of lust is poisonous with—truth! Its immortality is—to be sterile! This lie of Love hath no abiding: ‘‘Two loves are ended; one, the infant band, Rises more splendid.” Spin the rope of sand! Two loves are one; but O to their dividing!

…285 This may be further amplified by the following quotation from Eckartshausen : In time and space knowledge is but relative. Is it not true that all which we call reality is but relative , for abso lute truth is not to be found in the phenomenal world . Thus your natural reason does not possess its true essence , but only the appearance of truth and light ; and the more the essence of light inwardly fades , and the man confuses him self with this appearance , and gropes vainly after the dazzling phantasmal images he conjures . This appearance…

Then after a little do we begin to believe in “the illusion” as firmly and concretely as we once believed in “the reality,” seldom considering that all belief is illu- sionary, and that knowledge is only true as long as it remains unknown.* Now knowledge is identification, not with the inner or outer of a thing, but with that which ca…

…ther it is love, or your daily avocation, or diet, or friends, or amusements, or anything else, you must find out what helps you to your True Will and what hinders; cherish the one and eschew the other. I want to insist most earnestly that concentration is not, as we nearly all of us think, a matter of getting things right in the practices; you must make every breath you draw subservient to the True Will, to fertilize the soil for the practices. When you sit down in your Asana to quiet your mind, it is much easier for you if your whole life has…

He who departs from this world without having known the soul or those true desires, his part in all worlds is a life of constraint; but he who departs from this world after having known the soul and those true desires, his part in all worlds is a life of freedom. In the Brihadaranyaka,* king Janaka asks YAjiiavalkhya, “what serves man for light?” That sage answers: The sun serves him for light. When however the sun has set?—the moon.

Therefore I write to you with energy that you should not do thus to the hindrance of your true prog- ress, because all these enjoyments are dependent upon dual- ity, so that their true name is Sorrow of Illusion, like that of the normal life of man, which you have set out to transcend. Be it according to your Will, but learn this, that (as it is written) they only are happy who have desired the unattain- able.
